Found November 20, 2008 on Eli's MLB Rumors:
According to the Boston Globe, Ramon Ramirez could be dealt in another trade to help the Red Sox land a catcher. With that said, the Diamondbacks could be a suitor for Ramirez to help fill the void that was once taken by Juan Cruz, who will likely leave as a free agent. The Diamondbacks have a young, promising catcher in Miguel Montero, and could trade Montero in exchange for Ramirez.A
Montero is tearing it up in Winter Ball, hitting .310 with 4 HR in 12 games in Venezuela. The Rangers are also a possibility, but they sold Kameron Loe to Japan to clear up space on their 40-man roster so they probably are not looking to add someone else.A

Daryl Thompson To Louisville?

With Justin Lehr gone to Korea there is now a rotation spot open in Louisville. The Bats already replaced Lehr's roster spot with Ramon Ramirez which is odd considering he spent a lot of last year as a reliever and he's not exactly having a good season this year posting a 4.74 era in 9 games as a starter. Id have to imagine that he's not going to AAA to be a starter so that leaves...

Farnsworth to Royals?

The Reds almost traded for Crisp

Straight from Walt Jocketty's mouth via John Fay:"We were close," he said. "I thought we had a shot. Obviously, it didn't happen."I can't make up my mind if Coco Crisp would have been a good addition or not.
